My business reports on the general state of the credit market; as a credit bureau we track and analyse application and default data across both commercial and consumer NZ. We sell information that let's credit providers make decent decisions about who to lend to, and under what circumstances. Because we collect data from all credit providers in the land, we have adarn good view on what's going on in lending and trading land. Today's release item http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=10583072
is just an example of the type of breezy, bright and cheery news that we put into the market. There's an underlying sales message of course, after all why else would a business say anything at all? So its bad out there for lots of people. And this week it sort of got closer to home when I along with 5 colleagues were advised that our roles are dis-established. Its a hard reality when its hitting you smack in the face that your source of income may disappear. But you see where one door closes, another opens. Some new roles will be created, and these will be contestable. I've seen the role descriptions and can say none really thrill me but at times like this we put our best foot forward and go for it don't we? Winners are grinners and I'm gonna win, the other options don't bear thinking about.
After that I'm going pheasant shooting.
Good stuff that happened this week:
1. Paul & Michelle's little girl arrived
2. I arranged another shooting trip
3. Landed decent contract with blue chip client
4. Had nice weekend at home, proving it can be done and winning immense brownie pointage
5. Roger Federer won Wimbledon (closet tennis fan you see)
6. Rossie extended his lead in MotoGP
7. Springboks got fined for acting like cocks
Bad stuff:
1. Have to apply for new role
Good beats bad 7:1
:D
